Steps:
- Par-bake the crust: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Use both pie crusts to cover the bottom and sides of a 13-by-9-inch casserole dish. Patchwork works, just cover the holes. Dock by pricking holes in the crust with a fork all over the bottom. Bake until lightly golden, 15 to 20 minutes.
- For the fruit filling: In a large bowl, stir together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, flour, almond extract, pumpkin pie spice, lemon zest and lemon juice. Divide the mixture among the smaller bowls: 3/4 cup in the first, 1/2 cup in the second and 1/4 cup in the third. (Think of the 3 bears: poppa, momma and baby bear bowls.)
- Put the cranberries in the poppa bear bowl; in the momma bear bowl, add the apples; and in the baby bear bowl, add the figs. (Do you need a translation? Add cranberries to the bowl with the most flour mixture, apples to the bowl with 1/2 cup of the flour mixture, and the figs to the bowl with the least amount of the flour mixture.) Stir each bowl independently, unless you¿re an octopus.
- For the streusel topping: In a food processor add the flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, butter, and a pinch of salt. Blend until crumbly, taste and add more salt if needed. Pour into a small bowl with the almonds and stir.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Pour the fruit filling into the prepared crust, dividing it into thirds with the apples in the middle and the figs and cranberries on either side. Top evenly with the streusel mixture. Cover the pie edges with aluminum foil so they don¿t overcook. Bake until the top is golden brown and the fruit is beginning to bubble around the edges, 40 to 50 minutes. Serve warm with the bourbon whipped cream.
- Whisk the cream in a large bowl until soft peaks form. Add the bourbon and sugar and continue whisking until the cream holds slightly stiff peaks when the whisk is removed from the bowl. Refrigerate and serve cold.

Steps:
- Make the dough: Sift dry ingredients and transfer to a food processor. Add butter and cream cheese and pulse until pieces range from pea to hazelnut size. Add ice water to mixture. Pulse until dough just starts to come together. If it's too dry, add water 1 Tbsp. at a time. Pile dough onto a sheet of plastic wrap, wrap tightly into a disk, and chill for 1 hour or overnight.
- Make the filling: Combine figs, 1 1/2 cups cranberries, wine, and brown sugar in a large saute pan over medium heat. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer until cranberries begin to pop, figs soften, and liquid thickens slightly, about 25 to 30 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and stir in remaining cranberries and red wine vinegar. Let cool completely. (You should have 1 1/2 cups filling.)
- Roll dough on a lightly floured surface to 1/4 inch thick. Trim to a 10 1/2-inch circle. Transfer to a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet. Brush a 1-inch border with egg wash. Pile filling toward center of dough and fold dough over about 2 inches. Pinch to seal. Brush with egg wash and sprinkle with granulated sugar. Chill until firm, about 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Bake tart until golden and bubbling, about 35 to 40 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving.
